250 Artists Gather Together with Bill Gaither Ahead of His 90th Birthday on I Go to the Rock, Out March 27
Last fall more than 250 recording artists came together to lift their voices for one of Bill and Gloria Gaither’s largest Homecoming tapings to date. Performances from that historic, all-day event will be released March 27, 2026, on CD and DVD as I Go to the Rock (Gaither Music Group). Out today is the first single, “Bread Upon the Water,” featuring Wes Hampton, Marshall Hall, Michael Booth, Ronnie Booth, Ernie Haase, and Dustin Doyle.
Hosted by Gospel icons Bill and Gloria Gaither, I Go to the Rock is a celebration of faith and hope that highlights the Gaithers’ rich legacy and features some of the most lauded talents in Gospel music. The recording, which will be released as a TV special on numerous networks worldwide, also serves as a heartfelt tribute to three-time Gospel Music Hall of Famer Bill Gaither, who turns 90 the day before the album’s release. I Go To The Rock reminds us of strength found in the Rock of Ages.
“To stand shoulder to shoulder in praise and song with over 250 artists was awe-inspiring,” said Bill Gaither. “Vocal performances included Gospel pioneers who helped build this family of singers and musicians, along with new vocal talent delivering this music and message to the next generation. It was a special day for Gloria and me.”
Award-winning performers include the Gaither Vocal Band, Sandi Patty, The Martins, The Isaacs, Chris Blue, Jason Crabb, David Phelps, Angela Primm and many others. This record-setting event brought together acclaimed and rising talent from across Christian and country music to film at TBN Studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee. More than a gathering of artists, it was a day of fellowship and devotion expressed through joyful song.
Over 70 heartfelt renditions of hymns and Gospel classics were captured in the one-day TV taping which will be released as four separate CD and DVD projects. I Go To The Rock includes 13 selections curated for the audio CD and 14 songs and stories for the companion DVD.
